Nobody’s perfect.
Connie Yori knows this. So do Kelsey Griffin and Vonnie Turner. And the rest of the formerly undefeated Nebraska women’s basketball team.
That’s why there were no tears after NU’s first blemish of the season, an 80-70 loss to Texas A&M — a first loss, mind you, on March 13 in the second round of [...]

Oh what a beautiful ballgame. Cowgirl fans stood and applauded the OU pom squad as it danced to a medley of Rodgers and Hammerstein. Sooner fans cheered the backflips of an acrobatic OSU cheerleader.
Andrea Riley swished 3-pointers off the Colorado banner hanging from the Municipal Auditorium ceiling and Amanda Thompson got that look in her [...]

Quarterfinal day at the Big 12 tournament started with the road to perfection continued, and ended with the road to redemption established. In between, Texas lost the ball a lot, and Oklahoma State’s Andrea Riley shot it a lot.

Or is that the Monarchy?
Old Dominion’s dominance — pardon the redunancy, but it fits — in Colonial Athletic Association women’s basketball is well know. ODU won the CAA Tournament 17 straight years — 17! — before losing to eventual champion and interloper Drexel in last year’s semifinals here at James Madison.
Today is Delaware’s chance to [...]

Brittney Griner kept swatting away Sooner shots like they were Jordan Barncastle’s nose, and justice seemed to flee with every block Friday night in the Big 12 Tournament.
Oklahoma’s women’s basketball team deserved to win this rousing quarterfinal at Municipal Auditorium. Rather, Baylor deserved to lose, since it was driving the getaway car for Public [...]

Hard to believe, but April 8 is just around the corner. Yes, my friends, the 2010 WNBA Draft is ever so close.
This is the time of year where we’ll see a plethora of mock drafts, analysis on dozens of websites, and perhaps even a trade or two where teams hope to move up. Sure, speculating [...]

These days, Marion Jones says she is channeling the words of Satchel Paige and is not looking back.
Still, if you’ve lived the life Jones has lived and been the places she’s been, including prison, you can’t help but play the “what if” game, and wonder how life would have gone if not for a decision [...]

For the first time in its 28-year history, the Atlantic 10 Conference Women’s Basketball Championship took place at a neutral site – the Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, Md. – March 5-8.
However the conference’s attempt at making the event an attraction was a massive failure.

When Brenda VanLengen served as a Nebraska assistant women’s basketball coach from 1990-95, the Cornhuskers had some success, winning an NCAA tournament game in front of a crowd of 4,000.
